Summary

The schedule for that trip to the United Arab Emirates is yet to be locked in but the Test series is expected to take place in early October.

The worst-case scenario for Marsh, now one of the first batsmen picked in a reshuffled Test order, would have been going under the knife.

The 35-year-old’s international career appeared over this time last year, when he was axed for a Test tour of Bangladesh and left off CA’s contract list.

But Marsh rewarded selectors’ faith in the ensuing Ashes series, with the highlight his man-of-the-match century that delivered Australia a 2-0 lead at Adelaide Oval.

West Australian quick Joel Paris, among the contenders to be called up to the Test squad should the frontline pace stars be sidelined, will now feature in both the one-day and first-class sections of the upcoming Australia A tour.
